Weekly Printable Meal Plan with Recipes #6

Good Morning Lovelies! I am a tad late getting this menu up. Downton Abbey was a 2 hour show last night and oh my goodness! Did you all see it? So good! I swear they keep me on the edge of my seat every week. I won't give out any spoilers, but if you haven't watched it or caught up, please do so. It is getting better and better every week:)

Now for the menu this week. You will find both the meal plan and the recipes in this post and in a printable format. Also consult your pantry list before shopping. Make sure to restock what is running low. This month we stocked up on our beans and grains. I shared a picture on instagram, when hubby did the shopping for me this month. We found 25 lb bags of beans for under $20 at the lds cannery. So make your grocery list and start saving money on your groceries this week!

-Cook beef in skillet until browned. Stir often to
separate the meat. Pour off fat. Stir in soup, salsa, and water. Heat
to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Stir. Top with
cheese and serve over cornbread waffles.

To make corn bread waffles use the ready made cornbread
mix found on www.blissfulanddomestic.com
Cook cornbread in a waffle maker instead of the oven.

You can also serve over rice for all you non-cornbread
lovers.

Remember
to always check your pantry first. Always use what you have on hand
FIRST.
Why buy it if you already have it :)

My new crock pot recipe for May was Pork Chalupas from Allrecipes.com. using a 4 lb roast and a pound of dry pinto beans. Took them to a house warming party where everyone loved them served with flour tortilla, a squeeze of lime and homemade picked onions had enough leftovers to take them to work for the girls and they ate them for 2 days. Versatile as you can serve it over rice make a soup of out of it and tweaked it to your liking. So far I am leaning towards a teriyaki/sw n sour beef and broccoli recipe I found in p interest for my June recipe.Sherrycooks@rocketmail.com
